More Random Things

Just strange things about me that most people probably don't know:

1. I like Britney Spears music.
2. My ring tone on my cell phone is The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars
3. I love the NBA All Star Skills competition more than regular NBA games.
4. One of my weaknesses is cupcakes mixed with ice cream.
5. I had my first car accident about three days after I got my driver's license. 6. I had posters of the Dallas Cowboys, Rick Springfield, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird and David Lee Roth on my walls in high school.
7. My bedroom in high school had black walls. I hated them, but my mom loved them. All my friends thought it was cool. I wanted something pretty like pink or lavender.
8. I don't like video games very much because my husband and my kids love to play them all the time and it gets on my nerves.
9. We often find new restaurants because we have a coupon for them.
10. If I had three days off (without anyone around) I would clean the house from top to bottom.
11. My most recent 10 YouTube favorites: Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke; Five for Fighting - World; Foo Fighters - Best of You; Cha Cha Slide; Puddle of Mudd - Psycho; Eminem - Ass Like That; Vallejo - Just Another Day; Hole - Doll Parts; Slipknot - Duality; Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff.
12. I've been a sports nut since I was a kid. I would go to ball games with my dad when I was a little girl.
13. I still have a great throwing arm.
14. When I was in college, I fell asleep during a Whitesnake concert drum solo.
15. I'm still a little mad at Army of Dad for going to see Matchbox 20 without me before we were even married (like 12 years ago).
16. I converted to Catholicism for Army of Dad.
17. I love Facebook except that the damn site locks up my computer sometimes.
18. I've thought Bono's voice is one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard since I was about 14 years old.
19. Watching Fergie in My Humps inspires me to work out. I need this on my walkman for working out.
20. My workouts haven't started yet because my kids can't seem to get well long enough for me to escape the house.
21. I hate to do things if I'm not good at them.
22. I have The Shack, Twilight, Inkheart and about three dozen other books all in my queue to read, but I can't seem to get through all the Deborah Crombie books first and I want to read them all. Its like an addiction.
23. I don't particularly like substitute teaching because I hate being cooped up all day in one building.
24. I could sleep 10 hours a day if I didn't have so much to do.
25. I write everything - including letters - in AP style.
26. My husband says he forgets I'm older than him until I start listening to "old" music.
27. I saw Madonna and the Beastie Boys on the same tour when I was in high school. Now I can't stand Madonna.
28. I have an A-Fraud Rangers jersey. And, I still plan to wear it.
29. I think the MLB should have a salary cap.
30. Baseball has always been my favorite sport, but the steroid issues that can't seem to go away have made the sport lose favor in my eyes.
31. It sucks to be a Rangers fan. It sucks even more to be married to a Twins fan who can be a total ass about his team. (I still love you babe.)
32. Men seem to be shocked that I can carry on intelligent sports conversations.
33. They seem to be even more shocked when I can talk about tilt wall concrete construction methods, FDR (not the president but full-depth recycling) and the finer points of Rene Echeverria's work on The 4400 and Star Trek.
34. I'm a Romosexual. Although, he ticked me off a bit when he didn't seem to care that the Cowboys sucked ass.
35. I would like to return to law school, but don't think I'd make a good lawyer.
36. If I could go back in time, I'd never have let myself gain weight after having children.
37. I hope to lose weight and have someone write an Army of Mom-licious song like Fergie's.
38. Astromerias are my favorite flower these days.
39. I keep a book with me all the time. I read in the line at the post office, while waiting in the car riders line picking up the kids at school, when I'm in the restroom, whenever I have 5-10 minutes of uninterrupted moments.
40. I'm extremely jealous of people who can write novels and books.
41. We have more crucifixes than televisions and telephones in our home.

43. Captain Picard will always be my favorite ST captain.
44. I'm about the least handy person around the house for fixing things.
45. I hate answering the phone if I don't recognize the number calling. Makes for anxiety when I have to answer work calls.

    The Shack is a must read. Stacie recommended it to me and I really enjoyed it.
